Q:
Why does my therapist keep telling me to drink water?
A:
Your muscles are a 'store house' for chemicals, toxins, vitamins, etc. When
you receive a deep tissue massage, these substances are released back into the
bloodstream in concentrated form.
Following a structural massage session, water consumption can help flush them out of your system. This will aid in the prevention of sore muscles, headaches, cramping, nausea or diarrhea after a deep tissue session.
Also, if you drink
water Before a massage, this can help loosen your muscles, resulting in a more
enjoyable session.
